Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to combine a sell condition under which a first dealer sells a product and a buy condition under which a second dealer buys the product on a basis of information of a first transport medium to transport the product, and generate matching information including the sell condition and the buy condition combined each other; and assign a transport of the product to the first transport medium by associating the transport with the first transport medium and perform scheduling of the transport on a basis of the matching information.

Abstract: There is provided an apparatus that creates a component allocation plan for an electronic apparatus including first and second allocation layers in which components are allocated, including: a storage configured to store first and second component information indicating sizes of a plurality of first components and a plurality of second components to be allocated in the first and second allocation layer; an allocation order determiner configured to determine first and second allocation orders in which the first and second components are allocated for each layer; an allocation strategy determiner configured to determine first and second allocation strategies by which the first and second components are allocated, which are different each other; and a component allocating unit configured to allocate the first and second components in the first and second allocation layer in accordance with the first and second allocation orders and the first and second allocation strategies.

Abstract: A demand-and-supply intervening system which supports determination of a demand-and-supply relationship between users in association with demand resources and supply resources between a plurality of users, comprises an entry acquisition unit for creating an entry set by collecting a plurality of entries each of which has a plurality of resources as demand/supply objects and a combinatorial condition to be satisfied between resources, and a candidate group determination unit for extracting a candidate group of entries so that all entries included in the candidate group satisfy combinatorial conditions included in each entry when extracting the candidate group having a plurality of entry which includes at least one entry designated as a base point, and determining the presence/absence of demand-and-supply relationships between demand and supply resources between entries which belong to the candidate group and demand-and-supply quantities.
